• Lone Star Junction

Eel River Brewing Company in Fortuna has a bit of a party going on today with live music starting around 1 p.m. and featuring local bands Lone Star Junction, Kindred Spirits and The Kent Stephenson Band. Music goes until about 7 p.m., I believe, and it (the music) is all free. Vintage Americana fans the Delta Nationals make a stop at the Mad River Brewery Tap Room at 6 p.m. this evening to help you empty your pint glasses and get you out on the dance floor. They won't ask for any of your money, nor are they likely to refuse it. Over at The Space in Bayside, James Gadd, Steve Russin and Dale Winget are performing acoustic-based folk and rock covers along with originals thrown in for good measure. Show starts around 7:30 p.m. and I'm not sure what the cover charge is, but it's a fundraiser for The Space (and Humboldt Light Opera Company) so your ticket goes to a good cause.
